Lava Shell Massage

 

from December we will be doing a massage using Lava Shell's

 

The shells

 

In massage, the hollow, fused shells are filled with a mixture of minerals and oils mixed with salt, algae and dried kelp. When combined, the ingredients create a chemical reaction that heats up and keeps the shell warm for more than an hour. That continuous heat allows the therapist to maintain a constant touch with the client as they do not need to move away to reheat anything.

The therapist then applies the shells using light Swedish massage strokes. The heat can be used on problem areas to release muscle tension and soreness and the shape of the palm-sized shell means it has round and narrow sections for different massage strokes.
